Glad someone remembered Damasko! Their offering is about as tool watch as it gets, but I think what a lot of folks don’t realize is that Damasko has been producing watches for close to 30 years, has many patents, produces movements for their own watches and now others, and don’t really seem to care about the trends. Sinn always comes up along with Damasko but for me, there is no comparison.

Proud owner of the dsub50, ds30 and hopefully one of their many chronographs at some point.

014/500 arrived today! The text on the wheel is a bit small to use practically. Still trying to decide what I think of it.

I’ll try to remember to post some pictures when mine arrives. I received the email from TV while I was busy working. Quickly reviewed it and thought… interesting. A few minutes later I thought… you might as well order one and can always sell on watchex, etc if it’s not my thing. glad I did. I’m excited about it and was even able to pay with bitcoin which was timed perfect with the recent uptick. 

unfortunately, I’ve seen these posted for sale on eBay for $2k+ 🤦‍♂️

I am right around the same wrist size as you. there are other color variants but this is the one I went for. Available at great prices grey market or preowned. I purchased mine locally from an AD and was able to get it discounted down to $2k.
